Testimonial

Saint Francis University was one of the best choices I could have made for myself. The 600-acre campus was full of wonderful experiences & challenges that helped me become who I am today. The professors are what made my personal experience so great. Between the engaging topics and enthusiasm put into their lectures, the one-on-one time they were willing to spend, and the willingness and devotion to their students. It became clear to me that they were truly passionate about what they do and in helping students achieve their goals and succeed in the future.

Saint Francis University allowed me to expand my knowledge, grow as a person, and build great connections outside of the classroom. The experiences at SFU have helped me develop both personally and professionally, which allowed me to obtain a great career with Bayer Material Science after graduation.
